The proposed solar panels on old irrigation canals aim to generate electricity for tribal members while preserving culturally sensitive land, thus mitigating farming disruptions.
Ray Wiseman remarked, 'It is because literally the feds cannot get out of their own way,' illustrating the bureaucratic impediments faced by the Yakama Nation.
Despite winning a $32 million grant, the Yakama Nation’s efforts are hindered by the convoluted federal process that impacts access to critical electrical resources.
The delays in granting access to the electrical grid underscore a systemic issue within the Department of Energy, putting the tribe’s solar initiative at risk.
